Little George Meader caused a big laugh when he appeared made up as the Mad Hatter, tripped over a carpet bag, played a serenade on a red silk umbrella. Tenor Walther Kirchhoff was no funnier than usual but the audience snickered when he came out carrying a sun flower. Occasional exclamations escaped in English: "Sure!", "Sonny Boy!", "Whoopee...
...through most of South Carolina the terrain is rolling pinewoods, fields of broomstraw, greywhite cotton acres ruled off with black furrows. Beyond Spartanburg, S. C. the passengers could see King's Mountain thrusting its razor back out of the foothills. From Charlotte to Greensboro, N.

Treasury Ogden Livingston Mills that the sums which the Allies expect to receive from Germany and those which the Allies are expected to pay the U.

S. holders of German 5½'s) will still expect and demand to be paid by the Allies...
After leaving Pittsburgh's belching chimneys, the going is less rough over the checkered carpet of Ohio farmlands to Port Columbus, big T. A. T. division point. The smiling copilot, uniformed like a naval officer save that his shirt is blue, saunters through the cabin to serve box luncheons, or to invite passengers to step to the door of the pilot's compartment and hear weather reports through a radio headset. The plane passes near National Cash Register's factory at Dayton, on to Indianapolis' new municipal airport for another ten-minute stop. Beyond St. Louis...
